If I could, I’d have soup for dinner every day during the cold winter months. BUT, I can’t because there’s these little kids running around me begging for things like chicken nuggets and fries.

HOW TO MAKE HAM AND SWEET POTATO SOUP

This is the best time of year to cozy up to this hearty Sweet Potato Soup that’s brimming with seasonal vegetables and savory ham. And, with Christmas coming up, me thinks this is a great recipe for your leftovers. Thus, don’t forget to hide some ham and sweet potatoes. Just in case. 🙃

We will start with browning up our ham, and move on to sautéing our onions with carrots, celery, and chunks of sweet potatoes.

Once those have browned a bit, we are going to add in chicken broth, some seasonings, and let all of that simmer for about 12 minutes.

In the meantime, we are going to prepare a roux with butter and milk, plus cheese.

When ready, all that will be added to our soup pot and cooked until everything is heated through and completely creamy.

Garnish with some parsley and you’re ready to serve.

Slurp up and realize that sweet potatoes + soup were made for each other! 😍 A true winter warmer, this sweet potato soup with ham is just what you need. Easy to prepare and extremely delicious.
